Continuing Professional Environmental Assessment, Testing and Remediation Services

The City of Orlando, Florida, is seeking Qualifications Statements for Continuing Professional Environmental Assessment, Testing and Remediation Services (RQS25-0084) through a competitive procurement process. The solicitation targets professional engineering consultants registered in the State of Florida to provide comprehensive environmental services, including Phase One/Two Environmental Site Assessments, Interim Action Work Plans, Contamination Assessment, Remedial Investigations, Risk Assessment Studies, Surface and Groundwater Sampling, and Wetland Assessments. Submissions are due electronically by 2:00 pm local time on January 23, 2025, with a virtual qualification statement opening scheduled for the same date via Microsoft Teams. The contract will have an initial three-year term with the option to extend for two additional one-year periods, not exceeding a total of five years. Evaluation criteria will include experience and qualifications, personnel qualifications, past performance records, personnel availability, office proximity to Orlando, and previous work volume with the City. The selection process will involve a two-phase evaluation that will ultimately short-list and rank firms for potential contract negotiations.

The procurement has specific requirements for respondents, mandating that business organizations must be registered in Florida to provide Engineering Services pursuant to Section 471.023 of the Florida Statutes as of the submission deadline. While the document does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, it does reference MBE/WBE/VBE (Minority, Women, and Veteran-owned Business Enterprise) participation as part of the evaluation criteria, suggesting a preference for diverse business participation. The solicitation does not provide specific budget ranges or award values, nor does it list incumbent vendors. Potential respondents should note the comprehensive nature of the environmental services required, which suggests a complex and potentially high-value contract spanning multiple environmental assessment and remediation disciplines. Interested firms must carefully review the complete request for qualifications document to ensure full compliance with all submission requirements and evaluation criteria.
